[WIP] LEGO Train Layout: Old Bukit Timah Railway Station

[LEGOTrainBuilderSG]

Hey everyone, here's a shunting video on my LEGO Train Layout. Yes, it is only the bare minimum with tracks and some plant pieces.

The goal is to recreate the stretch of the Old Bukit Timah Railway station in Singapore. Due to space limitations in Singapore homes, it will only be from one end of the station to the end that goes past the bridge and onwards to Malaysia. But in the layout, past the bridge will be covered with LEGO trees and landscape to hide a bunch of sidings to store trains, giving the illusion that the trains are on the way to Malaysia. Also, the actual trains usually use these sidings to wait for oncoming trains due to the single track nature of the railway, but in my layout it will probably used for shunting activities. 

Here's what the station and bridge looks like:

 

Am doing a lot of LEGO studio planning and building. Man, LEGO railway modelling is so expensive. 

Will post digital designs here when it is ready. 

Cheers.

How many sidings will you have? Are those wagons a little big for shunting?

The real station looks quaint and scenic. I can't wait to see it in real bricks.

You've chosen a great subject to model and sometimes smaller is better for a layout, looking forward to seeing your layout develop

Interesting project!

Hi Farouq,

A very promising project. I love those tiny layouts, full of little details. A layout with a bridge slightly increased, over a small river, or a valley will add an interesting depth to the scenery. Maybe there will be enough space to add and hide a turnaround in the forrest. 

With kind regards
